The Five Knolls - a Bronze Age cemetery constructed over 4000 years ago
Whipsnade Heath - a mosaic of grassland, scrub and woodland, with a fantastic variety of wildlife. Whipsnade Tree Cathedral - an extraordinary 10 acre park in planted in the form of a cathedral.
The area also includes the Chilterns Gateway Visitor Centre which has a wealth of information about the area, a cafe and fabulous views in a sheltered environment.
